Lomography 800 Film: An Interesting Color Palette

On a beautiful weekend at the end of March, my wife and oldest daughter went down to Napa for the weekend. The weather had been rainy and cold for most of the month but the sun and warmth came out for that weekend. Before our trip, I had recently received Lomography’s 800 speed color film in the mail and I was anxious to try it out. I thought the way the film treated colors was pretty cool and I thought Napa would be the perfect place to try it out. I left all my digital equipment at home and just brought along my Leica M6 with the Voigtlander 35mm f/1.4 lens. The 800 speed was a little too much in the bright daylight, but it definitely came in handy indoors. I really like how it handles the warmer tones, especially reds and oranges. I have more rolls in the fridge and after the results you see here, I will definitely be using this film again.
